Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary to drive this
vehicle, it is important to remember that their judgment skills are
still very immature . Unsupervised driving by children can lead to
serious injury . Before children use this vehicle, an adult should
carefully evaluate the driving area as well as the children’s skill
level and ability to drive this vehicle safely . Children are not always
able to recognize or anticipate hazards, even when they have been
taught about them .
There is no acceptable substitute for direct
adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before allowing
operation of this vehicle . These rules should also be reviewed
with neighborhood children or other playmates who want to drive
this vehicle .
